Hi

you have to type
sudo su
df

in two seperate lines

regards, Talpan

Hey guys,

This seems like great stuff but I seem to be struggling to utilize this and that.  I am very newbish to linux but I have used a fair share of command line in windows myself.  

Firstly, I saw the persistence guide a few moments ago and followed it up until the point where I am asked to open a root terminal ( I am certain I opened a root term ) and enter sudo su- df.  I have tried several variations of this command and have come up with 'unknown user: df' as the most promising and 'unknown command' as the most common.  I don't know if anyone else came across this error, if it is some mistake on my part or whatever.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I am excited about .2b, I wasn't able to get mining going in .2a, I did 'start_mining' but I think I may have been missing what to put into the 'kernel' portion.  I tried opencl and something else having to do with phatk or something (words found through searching), but had no success.

EDIT: Yes powertune is included in AMDOverdriveCtrl

TFTP cluster guide is on its way You lucky people hahaha

Oh I see the new version has the powertune option... linuxcoin has the old version i guess.  Not sure how to install things on linuxcoin (gotta set up persistant mode first) but I guess I'll figure it out.

And you can download it here https://poolmunity.com/linuxcoin/linuxcoin-v0.2b.iso

Oh I thought things like powertune were a seperate % boost altogether.

AMDoverdriveCtrl is included, you run 1 instance (for card0) from the start menu icon, the next one from a console.

Search this forum for the commands.

Hey guys is there a program like Powertune included in Linuxcoin.  I have a few 6950's that I'd love to try it on.  Seems like I could be getting alot more out of these cards. 

If so please tell me how to run it.  I'm still learning linux.

Thanks for all the support.

Excellent guide - I was able to do it w/ the original instructions using just a Win7 pc and Unetbootin, but I will try this in XP.

Thanks, Folax!!

finally he gets it!

Excellent guide Folax !! I'll put a link on the first post

For people who cannot get persistency to work using the existing guides (like myself), here is another try which works for me (for LinuxCoin install):

You need:
USB thump drive
Windows PC
linuxcoin-vX (whatever version you want, get it here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7374.0)
BOOTICE (get it here: http://www.pendriveapps.com/bootice-partition-flash-drive-edit-boot-sector/)
unetbootin (get it here: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/)

Creating 2 partitions:
A. Put the USB thumbdrive in the Windows PC
B. Format the USB thumbdrive FAT32
C. Start Bootice

(Make sure you have selected the USB thumbdrive. Don't mind the size in this image)
D. Select Parts Manage

E. Select ReFormat USB disk

F. Select USB-HDD mode (Multi Partitions) and click Next
G. Enter 1024 in the first field (Partition1) and select FAT32 on Partition1 and Partition4, leave the rest as it is and click OK.

H. It will ask you to confirm the reformat of the partitions, click OK if you agree and finally you will get a confirmation box telling you all is ok.
I. Close this tool.

J. Start Unetbootin
K. Select to use an ISO
L. enter 1024 in the field for persistence
M. Click Install and wait, when it offers to reboot: exit.

Creating persistency:
1. Take the USB thumbdrive from the Window PC and put it in your soon-to-be Linux miner box
2. Boot, select persistence mode
3. When booted, open a root terminal, type:
You should now get a list of your drives.
You should see /dev/sda2 mounted under /media/7A6D-A74F (or something like that)
sda is the drive, sda2 is the partition
4. 5. It will not give a confirmation, now shut down the system and start it, selecting Persistence mode.
6. After rebooting, open a root terminal and do:
look at sda2, it should say: live/cow
For me it reads:
/dev/sda1 = /live/image
/dev/sda2 = /live/cow

Now you have persistence on your USB thumbdrive!

Note: I am obviously no Linux expert, or an expert in anything whatsoever, that is why I had to write this down, so I could do it again every time I need to. Please don't hesitate to correct me on anything, my girlfriend doesn't either...

No faster or slower atm just some warnings about depreciated functions . I'm still tweaking but also trying to enjoy the first sunny day in Norwich all year

Hows that new version of pyopencl doing?

Thanks guys for offering all the bandwidth !! I will be in touch as soon as its online Just got a PM saying WAIT pyopencl released a new version so please test hehehe. So I am now

If you would like another HTTP mirror, I have a server with a few hundred gigs of bandwidth spare

Just give us a link, and Ill set it up for you.

When it's incorporated into v0.2b that's even better! (For those using Linuxcoin that is.)

Needless to say first bitcoin mined with v0.2b goes to drgr33n.

Um should be by tonight hopefully people that are hosting will get priority

+1 for the step-by-step upgrade for the drivers to 11.6

So when roughly we will be able to download new 0.2b LinuxCoin?
